Conceptual thinking is the ability to understand a situation or problem by identifying patterns or connections, and addressing key underlying issues. Conceptual thinking includes the integration of issues and factors into a conceptual framework.
Conceptual thinking is an ability to see patterns by making connections to different ideas in a broad context. As a result new perspectives are brought about when conceptual thinking is invoked. In developing conceptual thinking the person will experience ideas that come to them in new ways. Too often ideas arrive in a linear fashion that can limit new directions. So learning techniques using conceptual thinking can add value to your creative work and mental processes.
